Only a total loser who even post Tony Avella for Congress when this man barely received 20% in the primary.

Jerkoff much? Considering the fact that Tony had a limited budget and limited city-wide recognition, was given very little attention by the press, and had to fight a strong machine candidate, I thought that he had a good showing for a first attempt at city-wide office. Tony Avella has a lot of respect in the 19th council district and the 20th district as well. I guess that you must be an Ackerman/Skenkler troll who is scared that Tony could actually defeat Ackerman and his hidden agendas and potential Asian money laundering. People are fed up with abusive behavior and over the next few weeks, I expect that the Tribune's insulting front page cover labeling Dan Halloran as a "pagan lord" will come back and bite Ackerman right in the butt. I wonder how that long-time friendship is going because of this development. Hmmmm............

tony avella is easily the most reviled scum in city council. you can look for weeks and you won't find a single person who will call him a friend.

And that's a bad thing? Considering how those thieving bastards allowed Bloomtard to gain a 3rd term even though there were 2 referenda approving term limits, who needs "friends" like that? Tony was one of the only councilman who stood up for the people of this city and that is the person who I want representing me in a city, state, or federal position. Hey Evan, does your mommy Moby know that you are staying up late playing with the Queens Crap bloggers?

I have nothing to do with Kevin Kim, idiot. You were the fool that posted that Avella would do better when he couldn't even gather more than 69,000 votes. WTH? Avella barely recieved 20% of the votes in the primary. No one likes him in the city council. He didn't even received matching funds. Anyhow, you are an idiot and probably didn't even vote so I wont' waste my time on you anymore.

Too bad. You're unintelligent rants and unintelligible and illogical comments are entertaining us. Anyone can throw numbers around but Tony represented the 19th district well and prevented a lot of negative development to occur and that is a truth you can take to the bank!

i read Fr.Brosnan's letter to his parishners.they should demand his resignation immediately. he is being used by his radical clergy fellow travelers.could dan berrigan be his real mentor? who invited Fr.dan to speak at sacred heart parish,a few months ago?

Personally, I think he was ideally suited for Public Advocate and don't think he should have run for Mayor. He likely alienated much of the Democratic Machine by challenging Thompson, by not endorsing Kim, and by opposing Quinn at every opportunity (including fighting the repeal of term limits). Tony would likely have to run for office as an Independent.

Bayside is one of the whitest sections of Queens..it also has one-of, if not the oldest age medians in the borough.

Against these realities, the fact that a flawed candidate such as Kim lost by only --6 points-- is indicative of the future.

N.E. Queens is essentially a "last stop" for those, mostly white residents. In the near 12 years that I have had business in that area, I have seen it's face change.

The changes are more gradual than places such a Astoria, but the same effect has been occurring; white population getting older, leaving and their replacements are mostly in the case of Bayside, Asian.

Halloran is likely the last of the beef eatin-football types..and most certainly last republican to hold office there.

This election was a lose lose for queens. I'm glad Halloran won because i personally despise Kevin Kim. That being said Halloran has no clue what he is getting himself into. Until the people in the 19th district start to care and elect someone who can make a difference, nothing will change there. Congratulations northeast queens on at least 4 years of accomplishing nothing. And on another note: Ackerman needs to go.

Well, the Tribune has finally covered the victory: Three Boro Council Seats Go To GOP. In it, Ruffles refers to Halloran as "a Pagan ex-cop and attorney from Whitestone," although he does include quotes from Halloran saying that there was too much focus on his faith during the campaign -- Ruffles just doesn't mention which newspaper was the one obsessed with it.

"i read Fr.Brosnan's letter to his parishners.they should demand his resignation immediately. he is being used by his radical clergy fellow travelers.could dan berrigan be his real mentor? who invited Fr.dan to speak at sacred heart parish,a few months ago?

are the pupils being marxist indoctrinated?"

Fr. Berrigan, while hardly a rational political mind (the man is an radical pacifist with no regard for conservative political thought), can hardly be accused of playing racist or theocentric politics. The man is a Jesuit priest and is emplyed by Halloran's Alma mater, Fordham University. You're not so subtle implication that Berrigan had trained a parish preist to attack a local Republican is inane, and indicative of a less than developed mind.

Please, put the conspiracy theories aside and lets just see this for what it was, a parish priest unwisely getting involved and a dirty campaign using that to gain an advantage.
